Please find a professional counselor to talk to before you irreparably damage all these relationships, or worse. When people have huge, gaping chasms in their own psyches those can't be filled by other people. Because no one can ever give enough to make such people happy. Nothing in this household is going to feel right to you until you feel right about yourself.

Who is she?  Who is the her with the 2 boys?  This question doesn't make sense.  What relationship do you have with both these women?
